The Taiwan Legislative Yuan passed the amendment on Tuesday (May 23) that the 18 -year -old homosexual partner no longer requires parents' consent.
According to the Taiwan Liberty Times, the Taiwan Legislative Yuan reads the draft amended above on Tuesday.The Legal Department of the competent authority stated that the law of the same marriage law is to cooperate with the adult age of civil law to be 18 years old from the age of 20.
The Ministry of Justice explained that when the original amendment of the same marriage law was based on the age of 20 years of age of civil law, it was stipulated that the marriage of same -sex partners under the age of 20 must ask the parents' consent.However, the new civil law system has taken effect on New Year's Day this year, and the adult age has been repaired until the age of 18.Therefore, the Ministry of Justice proposed to delete the provisions of their parents' consent, and trace the implementation date as January 1 this year.
That is to say, as long as the age of 18 years old, same -sex marriage no longer needs to solicit parents' consent.
On May 16th, the Taiwan Legislative Yuan has passed the draft of Article 20 of Article 20 of Article 20 of the Marriage Law to relax the rules that the same -sex spouse can adopt bloodless children.
